In C# when retrieving the default SearchServiceApplication<\/a> object you might do something like the following, if you were trying to initiate a new Schema<\/a> object, for example:<\/p>\n

\r\nSPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPContext.Current.Site);\r\n\r\nSearchServiceApplicationProxy searchApplicationProxy = serviceContext.GetDefaultProxy(typeof(SearchServiceApplicationProxy)) as SearchServiceApplicationProxy;\r\n\r\nGuid applicationId = searchApplicationProxy.GetSearchServiceApplicationInfo().SearchServiceApplicationId;\r\n\r\nSearchServiceApplication searchApplication = SearchService.Service.SearchApplications.GetValue(applicationId);\r\n\r\nSchema schema = new Schema(searchApplication);\r\n<\/pre>\n
If you’re looking to implement something similar in PowerShell, you don’t have to write quite as much code.  Take a look at the following script, which achieves the same goal:<\/p>\n
\r\n[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(\"Microsoft.SharePoint\");\r\n\r\n$searchApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication \"Search Service Application\"\r\n\r\n$schema = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Schema($searchApplication);\r\n<\/pre>\n
The call to Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication<\/a> is all that’s required to retrieve the default SearchServiceApplication object.<\/p>\n
